Student Ambassadors

Employed through the Student Engagement and

Leadership office: student leaders who work with

groups across campus during various events.

Have recruited Student Ambassadors to assist during

Finals Week rush periods for a number of years.

Testing in 4 locations during finals: Ambassadors greet

students and direct them to the appropriate location.

In turn, CTS staff members have been invited to:

Ambassador Interview Committee, End-of-Year

Banquets, other Campus “Privileged” Initiatives.

Bookstore Partnership

In Autumn 2014, partnered with the College Bookstore

to install a Point of Sale Machine in the Testing Center

Calculators, batteries and other test taking items made

available for purchase.

Since then, 482 basic calculators and 31 packs of AAA

batteries have been sold.

Approx. 160 calculators per semester!

Cell Phone Lockers

Matches vendor requirements - Consistency

Acquired Cell Phone Lockers in March 2015 through College’s Capital Equipment cycle.

Immediate decrease in the number of Cell Phone disruptions in the testing arena.

20-30 Cell phone incidents per semester prior to the lockers.

2 Incidents in Summer Semester (first full semester with lockers)

1 of which was a deliberate cheating attempt –trying to use phone to capture test information.
